THIS WEEKEND
HEIFER PROJECT
Heifer’s mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, we empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self reliance and hope. A special collection is taken the fourth weekend of every month.
UM STUDENT DAY
United Methodist Student Day is one of the six churchwide Special Sundays of The United Methodist Church. United Methodist Student Day furnishes scholarships and loans for students attending United Methodist-related and other accredited colleges and universities.
LAST DAY TO ORDER POINSETTIAS
Sunday is the last day to place your poinsettia order.

THANK YOU
We would like to thank the congregation for their generosity. FUMC was able to pass out 60 Thanksgiving baskets providing a Thanksgiving dinner and more for 231 family members. Thanks to everyone and those assisting with the distribution.
The Harvest Dinner would not have been possible without the support of each and every one of you. Thanks be to God. Because of all your generosity we were able to feed between 225 to 250 people for $347 - what a deal! FUN will be sharing over half of the proceeds by providing MSPS with $750. God said “Just ask and you will receive” we did – Thanks to everyone for your support of the Harvest Dinner. There were several in need who received a good meal.
